TDE brings to you top five dining experiences that you must treat your partner to, in this Valentine's Day (and if not Valentine 's Day, then any other day too. After all, you don't want to bind your love to a single day, do you?)

Treetop dining at Kurumba Village Resort

Named after the Kurumba tribes, the Kurumba village resort at Coonoor is an ideal place to unwind with your loved one. The highlight of this resort is the tree top dining where you can enjoy a lavish spread of 7-course meal made with homegrown, organic spices. Enjoy the meal even as you get mesmerised by the beauty of Nilgiri mountains. You can walk down the green aisle with your loved one after a sumptuous meal and inhale the unadulterated aroma of nutmeg, pepper, and cloves. Your tormented city nose will thank you too. How to reach? The closest airport is the Coimbatore airport. Get down at Coimbatore airport and hire a vehicle to reach the destination. It is just a two-hour drive from the airport.

Breakfast by the river at Neeralaya

Picture this - the sound of river, the breath-taking view of the valley, a land preserved with love and care to retain its beauty. Sounds tempting, isn't it? If it does, then let us give you some good news. You don't have to go far-off to experience this beauty. All you need to do is head over to Neeralaya, which is right at your backyard at Kullu valley and on the banks of river Beas. Take your partner on a surprise date at Neeralaya and let them experience 'life, as it should be'. While you are Neeralaya, enjoy the morning cup of tea with a lavish spread of break listening to the gurgling sound of the river. Say hello to the birds that visit you and catch some live action of river rafting from your table. This serene place could serve as a rejuvenating pit stop for you before you go on an adventurous trip to Rohtang Pass or Leh Ladakh. How to reach? The closest airport is Bhuntar, which is 23 Kms away from the resort. If a road trip is on your mind, then you can rent a car from Chandigarh to reach Neeralaya.

Dine by the sea at The Lalit Golf and Spa Resort Goa

If you and your partner are beach babies, then Goa is the place for you. Yes, we know, you want to be away from the pandemonium in the beach. That is why we are recommending the exotic and luxurious resort of Lalit. The resort is near the calm Rajbagh beach - just 4 Kms away from Palolem beach in South Goa.

While you are there, try your hand in playing golf at the Golf course or just laze around at the beach or the outdoor pool with your partner. How to reach? The closest airport is the Goa International Airport. However, if you are on an adventurous mood and game for a long drive, then you can also drive down to Goa from Mumbai or Bengaluru.

Rooftop dining at Alila Fort Bishangarh

The Alila Fort Bishangarh is perched on a granite hill and offers a 360-degree view of the Rajasthani landscape. It's believed that the most romantic place to dine is on the rooftop. So, take your partner to the rooftop restaurant and indulge them with exotic Rajput cuisine specially cooked in sand pits and over open flames, even as the panoramic view of the Jaipur city leaves you awestruck with its royalty.
